A Houston County judge sentenced a Tennessee man to 50 years in prison for involving a teenage girl in human trafficking and giving her illegal drugs.

Circuit Court Judge Butch Binford sentenced 28-year-old Santiago Alonso to serve 40 years in prison for the felony first-degree human trafficking charge and an additional 10 years for the felony distribution of drugs to a minor charge. He ordered both charges to be served consecutively with each other. Binford also sentenced Alonso to 12 months in the county jail for a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge. But Binford ordered that sentence to be served concurrently with the 50-year sentence.

Police officers from Huntsville and other jurisdictions have been investigating this operation, which used online tactics to solicit prostitution to individuals and businesses among areas of north Alabama. Dewaun Cartral Stephens, 34, of Huntsville was a particular target for Huntsville police. He is charged with two counts of first-degree human trafficking and is in the Madison County Jail on a $100,000 bond. Also arrested were Tammie Denise Garner, 53, of Oakman and Tiffany Lee Meck, 24, of Decatur. Both are charged with soliciting prostitution. Meck’s mother, 43-year-old Geneva Elaine Meck, is charged with aiding and abetting prostitution for allegedly providing means for her daughter’s solicitation.

Prosecutors today released disturbing allegations against the Guntersville High School volunteer soccer coach charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse.

According to court records, David Barrow has been charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old and two counts of human trafficking. He was originally charged with three counts of sexual abuse and one count of human trafficking when police announced his arrest on May 9.

Court records made public this afternoon outline the specific complaints against Barrow, who has been suspended from his volunteer position at Guntersville High School.

“There is overwhelming evidence in this case that this man brought a 17-year-old to Dothan, Alabama, to be a prostitute,” Smith said. “His business is selling young women on backpage.com. He is a pimp.”

Dothan police arrested Alonso in August 2013 and charged him with human trafficking, distribution of drugs to a minor and felony first-degree possession of marijuana.

According to Alabama law, a person commits the crime of human trafficking if he or she “knowingly recruits, entices, solicits, induces, harbors, transports, holds, restrains, provides, maintains, subjects, or obtains by any means another person for the purpose of labor servitude or sexual servitude.”

Huntsville police arrested the volunteer head coach of the Guntersville High School girls soccer team on child sexual abuse and human trafficking charges Friday. A 28-year-old woman was also arrested in connection to the investigation.
